Ok, if it's not bad enough that schools in the United States are banning games like tag, now we have this BS.

"The superintendent of schools in Sampson County calls the situation unfortunate, but says educators didn’t want to be forced to pick and choose which flags should be permissible." 

Huh?  Are you freakin' kidding me?

Update: (9/12/2007 @ 9:39p EDT): The ban has been lifted.  Found here.
